What should I be charging for non regional computer repair work?

wendingowolf asked:


I work for a computer repair organization that offers me out of regional deals with extra compensation for my time. These spots are upwards of 90 minutes away from where I live and eat a considerable amount of gas and time. I have to work out a contract with them per region. How much should I be asking for?

My flat rate is $30 per local job (which are usually very easy) but for long trip that involve travel and gas, what should I be charging when working out a contract?
Well it is $30 dollars flat per local area.

if I am out of the local 5 mile area, I get a travel fee bonus.

I’m doing a about a 2-2.5 hour job today for $50 bucks for example, to cover my gas and a little extra on the side. I feel this is a little bit low personally. People really get upwards of $60 per job for this?

I live out in the middle of no where Central PA. Around Penn State/ Centre County region if it helps anyone. But I’d like to hear a little more
edit2: I’m actually subcontracted out from a bigger company. There ‘flat rates’ of $30 a job is what they have me at.

I am going to have to start playing hard ball with them because if what your saying is correct, I’m getting screwed around here.
